Man who allegedly left child in car while in a bar wanted for missing court date

A man who allegedly left his young child sleeping in a car while he was in a bar is now wanted for missing a court date.

Jesus Hernandez, 47, is the target of this week's Manhunt Monday, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said.

Hernandez was arrested in March 2013 on suspicion of abandoning or endangering a child.

According to the sheriff's office, Socorro police were checking a vehicle in the 10400 block of Socorro Road when they found a child sleeping in the back seat. When officers went inside, they found Hernandez, who was allegedly drunk.

The sheriff's office is now looking for Hernandez because he recently missed a date in the 383rd District Court. He is also wanted for an unrelated theft charge.

Anyone with information on Hernandez may call Crime Stoppers of El Paso at 566-8477.
